I have been accused of beating a dead horse on occasion but it hasn't stopped me yet.........

I just have a few questions concerning how someone beats the system in Davidson County. First we watched our District Attorney as he washed his hands of the Gerald Hege case, we all saw how that turned out and then another Republican is charged with BUI with Mr. Frank passing " The Buck" once again.

I wish I had a job that allowed me this type of pick and choose, work when it is convient, style of operation. Yes, we can count on Mr. Frank when anybody else breaks the law however, when someone that has climbed the good old boy ladder of Republican Cronies he takes a leave of absence and claims a conflict of intrest.

I thought justice was blind and in these two cases it surely was. It's too late to sound the alarm concerning these examples but, I still am going to ask a few questions.

The first question would be who paid the judge to come from down east to set Mr. No Wake free and why did we need him in the first place?

Do the Judges that serve our District slurp from the same trough as Mr. No Wake and they expressed a conflict of intrest in carrying out their elected duties?

Who was involved in this plan of " Hide and Seek " justice ?

Did MADD take a leave of absence when Mr. No Wake had his day in court?

If it had been you or me would we have received this custom fit type of justice with the same results?

So life goes in the biggest little city in North Carolina a privileged few, many that think they are part of the privileged few and then the rest of us.

Mr. Bad it would appear that the press release concerning, the Drunk Driver that killed the young man riding the bicycle, if you are in the click in Davidson County that you can commit murder and essentially walk away.

I wonder had the mans life been spared,and I wish it had been, if we would have seen the traveling Judge move again and a complete dismissal given.

No need to wonder we have already seen what would happen, The Mr. No Wakerule would be invoked and by now we would be at Honey Monks having a sliced BBQand a glass of sweet tea.

I would have to say the last two paragraphs of article were classic in the way that the father of the defendant and our District Attorney were parroting each other on the fact that neither one had talked to one another only through their defense attorney.

If it had been one of us, with the lead defense attorney that the Dispatch mentioned, we would have been lucky if we were sentenced to life without parole,as weak as he is. Proof positive it's not what you know but, who you know.
